Hear the clock ticking on the wall

Losing sleep losing track of the tears I cry

Every drop is a waterfall

Every breath is a break in the riptide

Oh how long has it been?

I don't know

But it feels like an eternity

Since I had you here with me

Since I had to learn to be

Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise

What I wouldn't sacrifice

Why'd you have to chase the light

Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone

As I walk this world alone

Another glimpse of what could've been

Another dream 'nother way that it never was

Falling back in the wilderness

Waking up rubbing salt in the cut

Oh how long has it been?

I don't know

But it feels like an eternity

Since I had you here with me

Since I had to learn to be

Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise

What I wouldn't sacrifice

Why'd you have to chase the light

Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone alone alone

As I walk this world alone alone alone

It's an endless night it's a starless sky

It's a hell that I call home

Hell that I call home

It's a long goodbye on the other side

Of the only life I know

And it feels like an eternity

Since I had you here with me

Since I had to learn to be

Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise

What I wouldn't sacrifice

Why'd you have to chase the light

Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone

As I walk this world alone
